Surface energy calculation of the fcc metals by using the MAEAM

The surface energies of 40 surfaces for fcc metals Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt, Cu, Ag, Au and Al have been calculated by using the MAEAM. The results show that, for all fcc metals, the surface energies of (110) are higher than that of the (100) and (111) surfaces, the order of three low-index surface energies is E(111)s
